Modular Helmet Question
I have chronic dry eye and having a lot of trouble with my eyes hurting and bloodshot after riding for an extended time. I have a 3/4 helmet with face shield and using goggles and still having problems. Can anybody who is using a modular helmet tell me if it would keep the air out of my eyes better? I don't think I would like a full face I cant lift up. I would appreciate any info.. Thanks

My modular full face helmet is definitely better when it comes to keeping the wind out, but I never had a problem with my 1/2 face helmets as long as the shield was down/on (obviously still had buffeting where the shield didn't protect but no dry eyes; I wear Rx glasses as well, no goggles). Because your entire face is covered, it MAY be better, but I think BigDogIdaho is on to something, you may need surgery for your tear ducts if you're wearing goggles and still getting really dry eyes.
Should you go the modular route, I'd highly, highly recommend getting a helmet that has a Pinlock-prepared visor and getting the Pinlock insert. Not sure where you live but if you ride in chilly weather at all, you will not want your visor to fog up!

Thanks guys for the info. I have already had the tear duct surgery and I bought a pair of 150.00 Harley Davidson glasses with the foam seals and back strap. Nothing seems to help that is why I was thinking about the modular helmet. Oh well I will just keep putting in drops and looking like I been on a 3 day drunk. I sure don't want to give up my road trips yet. Thanks again

My wife has been diagnosed with chronic dry eye. The drops recommended by her doctor are Systane Balance. She's tried them all and they by far give her the best results. They are pricey but your eyes are worth it.
